It was a long, tough road to NFL stardom for an undersized New Jersey native with a Fighting Irish heart. But once he grabbed hold of the Washington Redskins starting QB job in 1978, he never let go! Fighting the too-small label all the way, Joe Theismann went from Heisman Trophy runner-up, to Canadian Football League starter, to punt returner and backup, to, finally, starting Quarterback with Jack Pardee's 1978 Redskins. After a Super Bowl championship in 1983 (Super Bowl XVII over Miami), another Super Bowl appearance (Super Bowl XVIII loss to the Raiders), Theismann's career came to a sudden end after one of the most infamous leg injuries in history on Monday Night Football in 1985.

This spectacular poster, a SportsPosterWarehouse.com exclusive, gives you the ultimate image of the legendary passer in his NFL prime (we estimate it was taken during the 1981 season). From the intensity, to the action, to the classic Redskins uniform with vintage single-bar helmet, this is retro football action at its best. It is the perfect image of the brilliant field general, worthy of a nice frame and a prominent place on the wall of any fan. For true Washington sports fans, this is a must-have addition to your sports wall-of-fame!
